Xanders and McGuire talked for a good 10 minutes outside before moving their talks inside the team’s headquarters, with the doors closing behind them.

We make it a practice to never eavesdrop on conversations, but I will take a stab on how Xanders’ conversation with McGuire went:

McGuire: So about Brandon’s contract …

Xanders: Boy. Sure is warm out here, isn’t it, Kennard?

McGuire: You know when you look around at what the league’s top receivers are making, and here’s Brandon, who had 206 catches the past two years and is only making $2.2 million this year …

Xanders: I guess they’re saying a cold front is coming in tonight. Should be in the 70s the next couple of days. Players are going to like that. …

Seriously, McGuire has been regularly talking to the Broncos about his client for weeks, although most of his communication has been with head coach Josh McDaniels. McGuire may be here merely to help support Marshall as the receiver returned to the team today for training camp. Marshall had skipped out on the team’s final minicamp in early June to demonstrate his discontent with his contract.

Marshall is also expected to meet with the press after the team’s light workout this afternoon and it wouldn’t be a surprise if McGuire is somewhere in the vicinity.
